How do you deal with neo-luddites like the person in pic related when you encounter them in real life? Do you try to educate/convince them or do you just leave them be so that they can continue to wallow in their own ignorance?

>>51414058I mean, I don't personally know who that person is, I was just looking through the comments section of some pseudo-scientific fear-mongering "article" about harmful cell phone radiation for entertainment purposes only but I had to stop.. Comments like this idiot's were beginning to rustle me. I know that I've had the misfortune of randomly meeting people like this girl before and I just wondered what the proper protocol in that situation was. I'm assuming that the best course of action is to just disengage yourself from the conversation as quickly as possible and then try to avoid that person from then on.

Microwave ovens use the same resonant frequency as water to heat food. I'm not entirely sure what that frequency is, but some very smart people figured that out well before I was born. I'm not entirely convinced man made radio waves have zero effect on humans, but I do know you can't fry bacon with cellphones and wifi.

Don't even bother, OP. You can never argue with a Dunning-Kruger moron.

There are still entire communities of people who think the earth is flat. They have their little circlejerk sessions on YouTube and online forums, where they talk about de illerminaty and how we're all brainwashed for thinking that the earth is round. Never underestimate human capacity for stupidity.

>>51414423Humans aren't nearly good enough conductors for the electromagnetic field of a radio wave to induce a current (like in an antenna) and radio waves don't carry nearly enough energy to ionize you.

>>51414492>I hope you're not serious. h is planck's constant and f is the frequency.yes he is serious thats how you calculate for the energy of a photon at a given frequency, the higher the frequency the more energy it has

Higher frequency radiation has more energy

Humans are pretty immune to anything from the visible light spectrum and down

>>51414547Okay buddy. I wonder how you function knowing that the earth's magnetic field is multiple orders of magnitude stronger than anything your cellphone or whatever emits. Also your lightbulb has more energy in its radiation than the radio.

>>51414566Yes, but h!=m and f!=c^2 because a photon doesn't have mass. The full equation is actually E^2 = p^2c^2 + m^2c^4.

Not even trying to start an age war but I'd be glad if that were the extent of the neo-ludditry I have to deal with. 80s shits and mainframe fags are the fucking worst

>Did you get my e-mail?>BACK IN MY DAY, ANON, WE HAD TO LOG INTO A THING CALLED A MAINFRAME>Yes I know, and times have changed. Did you get the e-mail?>IMAGINE HAVING TO LOG INTO THE SAME MACHINE EVERYONE ELSE IS USING....>Yes I know it was called timesharing computing and things have changed since they got cheaper. E-mail?>gets all pissed off I know about it>UR JUST A KID KID KID ETC

>>51414043I tell them that I never heard of such a thing, but pretend to be empathic. It just doesn't matter, I don't need to educate them, as I don't give a shit about what they do with their lives. It's a different matter if those attitudes affect me or others negatively. Luckily, that never happened to me.

>>51416983What is the scientific fact here? Radio waves don't interact with matter? They absolutely do. Of course it's highly unlikely that they cause something like kidney pain, but it's pretty much impossible to rigorously show that it is physically impossible. Of course there are lots of studies showing that radio waves don't interfere with biological function and so forth, but as if people like OP's picture give a shit about those statistics.

>>51417140Because even "supposedly" smart people like Bill Maher go on live TV and say they don't use microwaves.

https://youtu.be/bDOArHvBXOs?t=4m5s

Now okay he could have refereed to TV Dinners or something like them cooking unevenly and whatnot. But okay even if you don't cook in them reheating cooked food is perfectly safe. But since it put it so straight and hes a liberal hippie I'll assume hes referring to the radiation.

>>51417182Well obviously microwaves don't actually cook food in the traditional sense they a Faraday cage where EM actively interferes and produces heat by exciting water molecules. They're effectually steaming food from the inside. You're not gonna char anything in a microwave any time soon.

>>51417140This whenever someone i know says something like microwaves kill ppl and shit i just turn my head around and cut all contacts whit them. They will never change their minds and never want to be educated about the subject.

>>51417118That's not how logic works. Studies have shown that WiFi has no adverse effects on humans. The burden of proof is on anyone who claims otherwise. If WiFi actually caused issues with some people, why is it that they only respond to LED indicators and not the actual waves themselves?

this is all you need to know to realise radio waves -must- have some effect. saying there are no known adverse effects is fine but there is a difference between long term exposure to something and 'can you feel this?' in a trial.

plus in some places with old busted transformers plants just die in a circular-ish radius around said device. no effect is wishful thinking at best.

>>51417396It's sightly different. With the placebo effect, your body effectively removes the effects while the cause still exists. The nocebo effect is just the opposite in that the cause does not actually exist but the effects are still real. They are still the same in that cause does not lead to the correlated effect, though.

>>51417421I don't believe anybody questions that radio waves have some effect on matter. If you actually believe that you are beyond deluded. The thing is just that humans don't seem to react in biological manner. That's all.

>>51417421They might have some kind of effect; no one knows enough yet to say. What we can hopefully all agree on, though, is that the woman in OP's picture is a fool for basing her entire way of living on what can only be described as pseudo-science.

This one guy I know only buys games which his hardware reaches the recommended specifications. Currently there is a few titles like Fallout 4 for example which he cannot buy to play because he believes the game literally will not run with hardware that's any less than the minimum recommend specifications. He even ejects USB memory cards and SD cards.
